JANE CHIPP
I create using found objects, old papers and photographs. I’m fascinated by the lives of ‘normal’ people…how they lived day to day, the minutiae of everyday life. If someone took a (pre-digital) photograph it was because that event mattered,
and they wanted to preserve a memory.
Or a letter that has survived for decades did so because it was really valued by someone.
I try to honour this sentiment through my art.
I work mainly with stitch, collage, assemblage, and encaustic wax. I like to create stories and not let once-treasured things be discarded.
I source materials from flea markets, auctions, and junk shops and have collected items for years on my travels. My pieces rarely start with a plan; I’m usually drawn to the vintage materials and decide what is needed to give it a new life.
